Rock-Trac Full-Time 4x4 System?

[dew3]

The Jeep website lists that the Rock-Trac Full-Time 4x4 System is available for the Jeep Gladiator. But I don't see it in the order guide or any inventory with it listed on the window sticker.

Is there a Gladiator that has full time 4wd or is part-time only available?

From the website Jeep® 4x4 Systems - Go Anywhere. Do Anything.

ROCK-TRAC® 4X4 SYSTEM

The Rock-Trac® 4x4 System offers outstanding control and torque, impressive off-road performance with a 4:1 low gear ratio that lets you crawl at a lower speed with a powerful increase in torque at the wheels. Standard on Rubicon and available in both part-time and full-time variants. Rock-Trac Full-Time 4x4 System adds a 4H AUTO mode that provides automatic engagement and disengagement of 4WD to maintain traction.

Yes, lots of them/us have them.

Rock-Track is the name of it in Rubicon's. The 392's all had it.

Select-track is the name in sports and other trims.

Back in 21-22 you could option it (I did). Now I think it's only a part of certain trims. Jeep changes this all the time. I have no idea what trim/model it's available on now.

When building for the Rubicon or Rubicon X only the following appears as a standard feature.

Transfer Cases 4:1 Rock-Trac® Part-Time 4WD System

 

[Josh00333]

Right so that’s the standard 4x4 system. 2wd, 4 hi, or 4 low, in this case the “rock“ is the transfer case which is lower on rubbies, I forget the exact ratio Vs sports.

The AWD Jeeps are 2hi, 4wd auto, 4hi, 4 low.

X versions have it, others do not.

It's in one of their brochures. It won't show up on the consumer build and price site and it won't show on a window sticker.

if you want the full time you have to buy a Mojave or Rubicon X. It's standard with those. Ignore the build and price site.

I believe only the Rubicon X and Mojave X get that now and it comes standard. Not available as an option on any other trim.

Yes, strange but true that they now kind of hide or at least don't highlight the type of 4 wheel drive in the product they are selling. In 2024, the X models did specify the Full Time 4x4 on the window sticker in the options section (one of the items detailing the X package items).

But just for fun, if you call it that, I just pulled up a window sticker below (link) from a 2025 Rubicon X and I don't understand: there is no mention of the full time 4x4 anywhere listed, only "4:1 RocTrac Part Time" system as one of the standard items.

I still don't understand when something so critical to many people purchasing Jeeps, the type of 4 wheel drive system, is different from what the window sticker says you are buying.

My guess is that they are going to discontinue the full-time 4WD system. Plan would be to use up all of the remaining full-time transfer cases that they have in the "X" models, and then when they run out just switch the "X" over to the part-time cases.

Extremely doubtful. It's required for the V8 in JLU and for the 4xe.
More likely they are positioning it to be automatics were in the 50s....a luxury or higher end item.
Pay a premium and get this. Zero reason to discontinued it when there is demand for it and it's necessary for certain models.
Some buy the X to get that item

Wow, looks like they might have discontinued the full time 4WD system??
Here is my window sticker.

That was one of the reasons I went with the Rubicon X. The full time 4WD, Bluetooth speaker, and heated steering wheel.

That, and the power seats for my wife (her handicap prevents using the standard seat adjustments). For me with Raynaud's the heated wheel was a must. The full time transfer case works great for snow plowing and our goofy winters.

I live in SoCal, so our winters consist of two rainy days. Lol
I don’t mind if I never see snow again. Lived in it too long.

Yes, when I was shopping at the beginning of the year (for a 2024 model), the Full Time 4x4 was a line item on the Rubicon X package window sticker. I see it nowhere on the 2025 window stickers I have pulled up. Seems to me it's more than just an error or omission. Now I'm thinking about driving to one of the nearby dealerships here and look inside a 2025 X to see what the shifter looks like.

I spent hours looking into this - dozens of dealer web sites, capturing their photos and window stickers and so on. It only shows up on the build sheet.
I have a Mojave X
Not on the window sticker but is on the build sheet and is in the marketing pamphlet from Jeep.

This is what I found on every Rubicon X or Mojave X on a dealer lot, and this is mine -

I've got snips from dealership photos as well.
